Tragedy and culture-shock combine to wake in Sophie a gift of sorts--her
perceptions of both past and future become strangely sharpened. And her
visions will make her a player in the tail end of Kipling's Great
Game--the game of intrigue, political machinations, and spying in which
European powers, and now Indian nationalists, shape the future of the
country. World War I is underway in Europe, and plots are afoot in
India that may well destroy both Sophie's new family and British control
of the sub-continent. Charlotte's Library May 2014
